Is citric acid inorganic or organic?

From a chemical perspective? It's an organic compound, it contains carbon. Was it organically produced, that is, made without pesticides? Maybe. Probably not if the label doesn't say. --- I am not sure of understanding the question : If organic refers to 'organically grown' or 'certified organic farming', etc : May be citric acid can be extracted from some organically grown fruits in a way that would match an organic certification standard, and therefore qualify for an 'organic' labelling. Nevertheless, I would be quite puzzled at reading this on some food packaging. An other way of understanding the question is that there can be 'organic' sources for citric acid (ex. some fruits) by contrast with 'non organic' sources of citric acid (chemical synthesis). According to USDA National Organic Program regulation 205.605, nonagricultural citric acid may be used as an ingredient in processed products labeled as "organic" or "made with organic citric acid" only if it is produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrate substances.

Is ethel organic or organic?

Ethel is a lady's name. Many ladies are organic, if that is what you wanted to know. Further, I don't know how to distinguish between organic and organic. Ethyl is a chemical term that refers to an organic compound with a backbone of two carbon atoms, such as ethyl alcohol, the stuff in booze. There is a difference between the chemical definition of organic, which refers to chemicals with carbon-hydrogen bonds vs. what you probably are asking about; organic as in USDA approved natural and not synthetic. You will find ethyl "parts" in items that are approved for use in USDA approved organic foods and items that are not approved for use in organic foods, such as ethylene glycol, which is the main ingredient in radiator antifreeze and is poisonous. The short answer is that the question cannot be answered. If you know the entire chemical name, then we have something to work with.
